Perry, would love to have it up there in your neck of the woods, been talking that for years but no one wants to plan it up there and I am not from that area, Geneva on the lake, wine country, you would have all the wives wanting this trip!

We have decided to pull the plug on the Jamboree this year since eight people where making it happen but we are not a club. We all belong to different clubs but it would not be sanctioned from MTFCA or MTFCI if any restriction are on in the state of Ohio. June , July will be to late to make arrangem...

If you have a rod that looks like that, the crank is going to need ground or you will be replacing rods in that one cylinder all the time, since the crank is out getting ground you might as well bite the bullet and have the bottom repoured and bored. Just my thoughts since it is out and tore down.

I have made wood for Coupe's, Fordor's and installing the aluminum strips with the nails have been challenging, first one was screwed in and duraglas over them they showed, next ones where nailed and JB weld they showed the last ones I set down and really looked to see how they did it and it was alu...

Scott, I have a head that looks like a normal T head except no wells where the plugs are, some one once told me Hemco? It is a cast iron one and works well on my Fordor, they are out there Just got rid of one a month ago, the nice thing no one knows you have a High compression since it looks just li...

Bill, I have always done it with friends and good 2-4's that way you can lift evenly and take your time, I did my last one with straps and my loader, the straps shifted and now I have a big dent to deal with, glad it was not painted yet. Just my to cents worth! Joe

Had one the other day was trying to sell a car that had been setting for a few years I took it around the block with the person interested in showed him how to shift the ruckstel. He then took his wife around the block and it dropped a cylinder, checked the coil first it was good, pulled the plug to...

I have a shelf full of them, If you are not to far into PA you are welcome to come and take your pick of the bearings, there is some housing here also if you want some inner sleeves that have less wear than the outers. Joe Bell Tiffin Ohio

Rich, those where the Jahns pistons, they where made out of any aluminum they could find, I saw one that did not have crap for compression in a cylinder, tore it down and I could see through it on top from porosities in the aluminum.

Toon,
I have tore engines down with them in it, the brass that is imbedded in the material comes off and goes into the babbitt and then you would know what that looks like. They do work and hold well but pre engine failure from it.

The Jamboree is going to be based out of Upper Sandusky Ohio touring Friday around Upper, then Saturdays Tour will be to Marion Ohio, Sunday may head towards Tiffin and back country roads. We are wondering if there is enough interest to continue with it? The Hotel is blocked for the jamboree and ple...

Was talking to Dave Nolting this morning about the Jamboree, was wondering of peoples thought of it this year? We had started planning it then this virus has happened. The group did not know if we should continue planning it or wait till next year, since some places of interest may not be open to th...

All the ones I have tore down have long gated holes with screw headed bolts for clearance, if you use regular bolts your socket will not fit. The 26-7 style is made to be centered with the big drum, so all you need to do with the earlier driven plate is long gate the holes to make the pattern smalle...

You have a really nice gear on that drum, I would replace the drum with Dave Noltings and it would be perfect balanced and new, you have it down this far what is another couple hundred dollars. If my own engine is down that far I would replace at least the reverse and low speed drum, they get all th...

Sorry Mario, they are gone! Mack the single stacks go for 10 the double go for 25-30 so I figured 50 for the real early ones, and as RV said most change them out for 1/4 and ring geared flywheels so in case some day we get old and can not crank any more.

I need to make a trip for brother in law to Kansas city area and back to Tiffin Ohio with empty goose neck trailer in a couple days so if any one needs a something throwed on be glad to help out. 419-618-1025 Joe

I hauled four of them to Hershey last year and never sold any of them, had a price of 50 bucks and you could take your pick a couple where in perfect condition, everyone said how rare they, well they are now melted down into scrap!

I know I have given a couple friends the elbow to make there's complete and maybe one may be in my parts bin of vaporizers. But what year and when?? Hope this helps, there are better historians than I when it comes to the vaporizer!

Those fenders are different from each other, the 25 uses, they call the commercial fender and the 24 has the passenger car fender on them, so you may need to check to make sure where your body line is at the splash apron. If it follows the apron it is a 24 but if the line goes behind the apron it is...

The best on the market are DMC gears, you pay more for them but a whole lot quieter then the others, they are cut on the same machine so the gears run smoother. I like to show people the others out there and let them run the two sets together and they sell them selves from how smooth they are! Just ...

Depends on how early you are talking, the early square door hogshead and one piece pan will not except it but a 10 pan is 3/4 in wider like all the later ones have and those will take a starter hoghead.

I use to rebuild my own, then had Wally do them for me, Now since Wally Retired I have Bill Lucius of New Riegel Ohio do them for me, he supplies the big vendors with them and they are to deep in the engine to mess them up and to have to do them again. 419-595 2310 is his number. Hope this helps!

Some of the ball bearing fourth mains are loctited to the shaft, when the trans heats up it has to expand and if it can not go out the rear it will go forward and push on the thrust of the rear main or get into the magnets and field coil?

Years ago I bought a motor home that had set for ten years, I should of known better to try to start it with that fuel, I got it to run and it smelled like varnish after I shut it down went to restart it and heard one heck of a noise. It had cooled long enough that all the valves had stuck and bent ...

When I first started pouring, I bought a set like that, waisted a lot of time trying to figure a good pour out, then made a mold that poured from bottom up and had good pours all the time and you did not have to mess with the sprue in the center, you just band saw it off the side of it and use your ...

If you are going to leave one set, go out and get some aviation gas, run it so it is in the lines and if it is a vented system it will evaporate and now you have a clean system in stead of shellac coated. Some one told me this as a young man and has worked on all my toys since, it is the only fuel t...

I have a couple used ones that are really nice and just have not wanted to throw them away from engines I have torn down, I always replace them with DMC gears. There is a couple after market ones out there also? 419-618-1025 Joe
